The Little Beauty I Picked Up Is Sweet and Obedient

[Historical-to-modern transmigration, not a wish-fulfillment story; weak heroine. Because of her background and experiences, the heroine has deeply ingrained submissive beliefs. If that bothers you, please skip this one. Thank you.] Ruan Tian transmigrates into a novel about a scumbag who is reborn and pursues his wife, only to end up in a crematorium. She becomes the green tea villainess in the first life and a tragic sacrificial pawn in the second, and the reborn male lead is about to make sure she meets her end. Ruan Tian: What a predicament. Weak, helpless, and pitiful. Gu Shen goes to stand up for someone out of a sense of obligation. He doesn’t get to do that, but instead picks up a sweet, soft little beauty who looks lovely, has a lovely voice, and knows how to act cute! At first: Gu Shen (righteously): “I’m not the sort of shallow, fickle man who falls for anyone!” Later: Gu Shen (holding her close): “We’re dating properly and getting married openly and aboveboard. It’s all perfectly legal.”
